They certainly have an above average ability to stay in school. They probably have an above average ability to focus.

Rocket scientists are certainly better than average at math and science.

Brain surgeons (surgeons in general) probably have significantly better fine motor control.

I suppose the study is saying, there’s nothing innately special about rocket scientist s or brain surgeons. So kids out there, you can become whatever you want if you can commit to the education and practice required to master it.

I think we already suspected this though.
